"The project was repairing a drain pipe between two ponds that had been blocked for years. The solution wasn’t obvious so the approach needed multiple options. A study and review of the site and situation revealed some settling in the asphalt driveway covering the 3” PVC drain pipe. Robert brought a concrete saw to the site so he cut a one foot square in the asphalt and excavated about a foot down exposing the pipe. At this point he could see the pipe had an old splice in it that hadn't been attached so soil washed out over time and blocked the pipe. Robert was prepared for this and had brought necessary parts to make a permanent repair. A garden hose was used to remove the old debris from the line and soil replaced into the hole and a cold patch applied to repair the asphalt. Robert did an excellent job and obviously has a heart to solve customers problems and enjoys what he does. I would recommend you at least contact him no matter the problem and see what he thinks."

"I used these guys for some pretty extensive excavations and concrete work for our backyard patio. This included a huge footer for a multidimensional retaining wall and flatwork. Could not be happier with how it all turned out! Highly recommend!"

Small jobs welcome

I am a dedicated Husband and father to 2 great kids (Addy and Austin).\n\nI grew up in Appleton and lived in the Fox Valley my entire life. I have had a successful career in Operations, but its time for a change.\n\nI am watching my parents and my friends parents age and struggle to maintain their homes. It's hard to watch someone lose something they worked so hard for just because of physical limitations/aging. \n\nThat is why I started my business. I want to support people's lives by helping them stay in their home. \n\nYou need it done, I can get it done.

"We called Phil originally to redo our lawn after having some trees taken down & some trenching done. After Phil came to our home for an estimate on the lawn after hearing we were getting 2 puppies & also needed a chain link fence we had an urgency.Phil gave us a fair estimate he was on time and finished on time. Phil & crew did an excellent job and was very respectful to our property. I would highly recommend EBK Equipment for any lawn & fencing needs. 5/5 stars"

"Customer service was top notch- we started with a 4 acre wooded lot and we had started clearing it ourselves and had many stumps and some more trees to take down. They gave an estimate via photos and email since job site was over an hour away which worked great. Worked til job was finished and did so in a timely manner. We also added clearing a new driveway after the fact and did amazing job. Great communication - would definitely hire again and give referral. Photos are Before and afters."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.
